Garden Grove, Iowa
PERSONALS.
Al CRAGO went to Allerton Tuesday after his household goods.
Mrs. A. C. NORTHRUP and Harvey went to Tingley Saturday.
Mrs. A. C. SIGLER of Leon came Tuesday on a visit to her daughters, Mrs. J.
J. EVANS and Mrs. MCPHERRIN.
Ed PARR went to Des Moines last week, and returned Monday riding a new wheel,
he having rode that day from Madison county.
John NISH of Weldon was in town Saturday on business and remembered the
Express. He is the kind of a subscriber that maketh glad the heart of the
newspaper man.
Mrs. Alice CULVER, Mrs. W. H. STILES, Mrs. L. H. THOMAS, and Mrs. Geo. M.
MILLER went to Leon Friday in a double seated carriage. Master Ted CULVER was
their driver.
L. S. EVANS and R. W. BRUCE went to Cincinatti, Iowa, Saturday, and were
accompanied by J. E. EVANS and J. R. MCPHERRIN to Nauvoo, Ill. They returned
Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Hattie ELTER UPSON and the baby arrived from California Friday on a
visit to her mother, sisters, and scores of friends, who all extend to her and the
little stranger a hearty welcome.
Our good friend and former townsman, J. B. SIMMONS of Marshaltown, was here
last week visiting his sisters, Mrs. ZOOK and Mrs. FLANAGAN, and other friends.
The people of Garden Grove are always glad to see him.
D. E. SMITH and family and L. M. SMITH and family have moved to Wayne, Neb.,
where they have gone into merchandising. They will run a large store in a
county seat of 2000 inhabitants. Their many friends regret that they have moved
away, but wish them success in their new home.
The carpenters have just completed a large new barn for M. V. STEWART. W. H.
WEBSTER had the contract. This fact proves that the building is a good one.
Harry THOMAS has been having a nice trade on carriages. He got in a fine
surrey yesterday that will make some farmer's heart glad when taken out on the
farm for a family carriage.
A. B. STEARNS' fine residence is taking on a new dress these days and will
present a most elegant and tasty appearance. Uncle Buck always keeps his
premises in good shape.
Richard BAKER had quite a runaway experience Tuesday. He was on his return
home from Dr. WEMPLE's farm and was driving at a good gait, when something got
wrong with the tongue of the wagon, which scared them, and they becoming
unmanageable, Dick was thrown out, the wagon running over his left leg, injuring
the knee somewhat. The horses and wagon escaped injury.
